Detroit Lions running back Reggie Bush practiced without limitations this week and is expected to be active for the team's matchup with the Miami Dolphins.

Bush used the team’s Week 9 bye to nurse his ankle injury back to health, and it appears to have paid off. He was a full participant in all three of the Lions’ practices and is expected to suit up despite being listed as questionable on the injury report.
Fantasy Spin: Though Bush is healthy, he won’t be greeted back to the field with the most favorable of matchups. The Dolphins have allowed just four rushing touchdowns on the season and are third in total defense.
Expect Joique Bell to get most of the early-down work while Bush handles the passing duties with Theo Riddick also being sprinkled into the mix. Despite the timeshare and the tough matchup, Bush can be considered a flex option with six teams on bye.
